Ezatiostat
Based on 8 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Ezatiostat (TER199 free base; TLK199) is a tripeptide analog of glutathione and is a selective and orally active glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GSTP1) inhibitor. Ezatiostat leads to JNK activation by inhibiting GSTP1. Ezatiostat stimulates both lymphocyte production and bone marrow progenitor proliferation. Ezatiostat has the potential for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) treatment.

Biological Activity
Glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GSTP1)[1]
Ezatiostat causes dissociation of the enzyme from the jun-N-terminal kinase/c-Jun (JNK/JUN) complex, leading to JNK activation by phosphorylation. The therapeutic action of ezatiostat appears to include both proliferation of normal myeloid progenitors as well as apoptosis of the malignant clone[1].
Selection of a resistant clone of an HL60 tumor cell line through chronic exposure to Ezatiostat (TLK199) results in cells with elevated activities of c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK1) and ERK1/ERK2, and allowes the cells to proliferate under stress conditions that induced high levels of apoptosis in the wild type cells[2].
